this morning i tried to install my up/downpipe....and damn, was it fun....took 3 hours just to make room to get to the DP bolts....after drenching the bolts with WD40 i took out 4 and stripped 1 of the turbo-DP bolts (crap)...and i couldn't remove the bolt that was on the DP connected to the tranny....after that....i just gave up....put the bolts back on and changed my oil....and said "F**K it"....and let the car beat me today...

well...at least i know now that i need a stripped nut remover and a new bolt....and might as well get new nuts and bolts for the DP....

 

Damn dude should of asked for some professiona'l help i have a downpipe bolt sitten here next to me. if you need help today LMK i'll pm you my number.

 

hmm...the only nuts i'm having a hard time with are (when you're looking down at the turbo) the nut farthest to the left and the DP mount bolt that's connected to the tranny....i haven't touched the the UP to turbo bolts yet b'cuz i didn't have time yesterday....but i got the manifold to UP bolts off pretty easy....all the other nuts and bolts cooperated exept for those 2 (DP nut and DP mount bolt)....but anyway....i'll give you a PM on when i'm gonna try get that **** out next time....i'll gather up some tools (stripped nut remover and other stuff to get that stubborn bolt or nut out) then i'll be prepared!!:banana: thanks much mario for the offer on helping me.....i'll be sure to PM you once i get a stripped nut remover.....and if you have an extra DP nut that would be nice

 

Right on dude, just give me a call I'm kinda wasted now but around 1 or 2 i should be good
